Sport Drinks: Do Sugars = Fuel??

Aug28/2017/

The Krush Performance ‘War on Sugar’ rages on in full force.

We have had plenty of feedback, input, thanks, and questions when it comes to our ‘War on Sugar’ AND I was recently accused of singling out and demonizing sugar.YES!!!! You better believe we are demonizing sugar!

In our WAR on SUGAR, it’s very simple. Sugar is public enemy number one.

We just had a powerful Twitter thread on @jeffkrush discussing sport drinks and I am amazed how misguided we are when it comes to sugar and sport performance.

So this week, I want to set the record straight when it comes to sport drinks and energy for sport with Krush Favorite, the Chief of Biomedical Research at the Glycemic Research Institute, Dr. Ann de Wees Allen.
As always, thanks for listening!Listen Here =>

Concussions-Are we doing enough to keep athletes safe?

Aug18/2017/

What do you need to know when it comes to head injuries & concussions in sport?

As NFL preseason games get underway, college & high school sports are right around the corner, and we hear the rumblings of preseason NHL, I wanted to revisit head injuries and concussions to see where we are at in our understanding of this complicated injury and based on what we now know, what have we done to improve players safety?

I’m joined in studio by Dr. Martin Mrazik of the University of Alberta.
We discuss his roll in an innovative concussion research project taking place in the Canadian Football League that is funded by the NFL and the National Institutes of Health.
And we look at what we now know about concussions and brain injuries and based on what we now know, have we done enough to improve player safety:
• Ban on body checking in minor hockey
• Limit on contact in football practice
• Ban on heading in minor league soccer

Do we totally eliminate high school football? It is currently a serious discussion!
How far do we go in regulating who competes and who does not as we discuss the fatal boxing match of mixed martial artist Tim Hauge.
Should he have been in the ring? Who should be making the final decision?
As always, thanks for listening!Listen Here at Radio Influence

Pee Wee Hockey – Body Checking or Not??

Join Jeff as he interviews Dr Yoni Freedhoff; The Diet Fix: Why Diets Fail and How to Make Yours Work

Oct29/2014/

Collectively we have cut fat consumption by a third since the mid 70’s, the number of workout centers have tripled in the last 10yrs – yet obesity and overweight has doubled and tripled in the mean time and the number of new fad diets is out of control: low carb – no carb – high protein – no protein -no fat -beach -paelo – vegan…..

The deal is diets don’t work! In fact stats have shown that 90% of all diets fail yet right now the diet industry takes in about $60 Billion per year in North America alone!
Make no mistake the Big Food industry is in it to make money – fast food, junk food, the supplement industry. It’s crazy to think the stress on the health care dollar is reaching a breaking point.
In fact health issues due to overweight and obesity have taken over from smoking as the number 1 preventable cause of death…SCARY.

We ask the question which is more effective for modifying weight – diet or exercise?Answer: Of your modifiable weight it’s 80% Diet, 20% Exercise

If you are an athlete, parent, coach or someone conscious about the food you and your family eat, I strongly suggest you follow Dr. Freedhoff’s blog WeightyMatters.ca
One of my favourite posts of his – Juice is not a *#@> fruit!

Join us to listen to Yoni Freedhoff, he is not afraid to call a spade a spade. and that is why we like him!
